Curt is a graduate of Sacramento Bible Institute, Lee University (B.Th) and Moody Theological Seminary (MA in Global Ministry Design). He has served at Crossroads as Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor, and currently serves as the Senior Pastor. He is passionate about challenging the church to raise up passionate followers of Jesus through a strategy of engaging people to know Jesus, empowering people to love Jesus, equipping people to obey Jesus, and encouraging people to trust Jesus. Curt, and his wife Becky, have shared an amazing journey together for more than 38 years. They have five adult children, fifteen grandchildren, and a very spoiled German shepherd.

"For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."

–Jeremiah 29:11-13

Matt's passion is to see people fall in love with Jesus and grow to love others the way He has first loved us. Matt married Amy, his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, in 1998. Together they have five wonderful children, three boys and two little princesses, who keep them smiling and active. Born and raised in Sacramento, Matt graduated from Del Campo High School in 1993 and then attended American River College. Feeling God's call on his life, Matt transferred to Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Bible/Theology and Youth Ministry in 1999. His family came to Crossroads in 1977 and Matt grew up attending the children and youth programs at Crossroads. As a young boy, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, trusting Him alone as his personal Lord and Savior. Since that early encounter with Christ's love, God has been faithfully guiding his life to fulfill His purposes and plans. In 2000, Matt was called back home to serve as youth pastor. In 2008, he transitioned to an associative pastor's role and currently serves as the Executive pastor here at Crossroads.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek."

–Romans 1:16

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will always be with the Lord." –1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Although born in Baltimore, MD, Scott was a ‘military brat’ whose family travels eventually landed him in Healdsburg, CA when his father began his studies at Golden Gate Seminary. This last detail not only earned him the additional badge as a ‘preacher’s kid’, but also led him to meet his future wife, Veronica, and raising their two sons in the Sacramento area. Working 35+ years as a financial and business consultant, Scott and his family began worshiping at Crossroads Church serving as a bass guitarist on the worship team. In addition to music, Scott also serves in a variety of ministries sharing his passion and love of Jesus Christ. His sharing of this passion with others helping them to recognize how they can be a good steward of the use of their time, talents, and treasures to become more Christlike is Scott’s heart.

“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” –Joshua 1:9 

Like his father and grandfather before him, John is a veteran of the United States Army. He has worked in the building industry for the last 20 years, staying local to where he grew up as a kid. John met his wife, Melissa, at a church event in 1991 and they were married in 1995. Together they raised three children in the Roseville area, and since then have watched two of their kids marry. He currently serves at Crossroads on the Prayer Team, Missions Team, teaching the Crossroads Kids Sprouts class, as an Elder, and co-leads the Hospitality Team with Melissa. While he enjoys sports and traveling, his true passion lies in a heart for ministry, missions, and his family.
